KUMUDA—The water-lily. ‘A semi-circle projecting from a vertical diameter. It is chiefly employed in cornices and bases. It corresponds with the astragal (a small circular moulding ornamented with a bead or recl), or with torus’ (a large convex moulding used principally in the bases of columns). (Rām-Rāz, *Arch. Hind.*, p. 23.) In bases it may be triangular or hexagonal.
